When Trello and Google Forms operate independently, project managers often face the challenge of manually transferring task details from Trello cards to Google Forms for feedback collection. For instance, if a team member updates a Trello card with project status, that information may not be reflected in the Google Form used for client feedback, leading to outdated or incorrect data being presented. This discrepancy forces the project management team to spend hours ensuring that feedback forms align with the latest project updates, wasting valuable time that could be spent on more critical tasks.

Top Ways to Automate Trello & Google Forms

Automated Task Creation: Instantly convert form responses into actionable Trello cards, ensuring that no request is overlooked and that your team can act on new information without delay.
Real-Time Updates: Automatically update Trello cards with the latest form submissions, keeping all team members informed and aligned on project statuses and requirements.
Streamlined Reporting: Generate comprehensive reports in Trello based on Google Forms data, allowing for better tracking of submissions and insights into project performance without manual data manipulation.

How to Build the Trello → Google Forms Sync

Set up a Trello webhook by navigating to the Trello board settings and creating a new webhook that listens to card updates. Use the endpoint: https://api.trello.com/1/webhooks with the payload containing the board ID and callback URL.
In the callback URL, configure your server to receive the webhook payload. Extract relevant data such as card.id, card.name, and card.desc.
For each card update received, format the extracted data into the required fields for Google Forms. The fields may include entry.1234567890 for the card name and entry.0987654321 for the card description.
Use the Google Forms REST API to POST the data to the form. The endpoint will be https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/YOUR_FORM_ID/formResponse. Ensure that you send the data as application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

Developer Warnings & API Gotchas

Ensure the Trello webhook is set to trigger on the correct events, such as 'updateCard', to avoid missing important changes.
Be cautious with the mapping of Trello card IDs to Google Form entries; if the card ID changes, the corresponding entry may not update correctly unless handled in your logic.
Verify that the Google Form is configured to accept submissions from external sources; otherwise, you may encounter submission errors when posting data.
